Celebrating Christmas At Chawla's 2...

I had begun the month by #Unlocking18Plus With A Gala Celebration and I am about to close it by chronicling the experience at Chawla's 2, which is located in the same premises, albeit adjacent to 18+ Cafe and Lounge, and both of these are located right next to Theos Bakery.

Both Chawla's 2 and 18+ complement each other because while the former is a fine-dine place, the latter is a cafe and lounge. All in all, it's the best of two worlds presented to patrons be it youngsters, friends, families or senior citizens.

The place was all decked up with the Christmas vibe, as I paid them a visit on Christmas eve. :)

Chawla's 2 is all about comfort food, catering to a plethora of cuisines, though acing it with its Indian flavors. While there's a sea of variety out there, with the Grub Journal at 18+ and the Menu at Chawla's 2, I decided to give the following items a try:

Mexican Nachos with Cheese and Salsa - Crispy and cheesy, loved the tang in its salsa dip.

Eggs Kejriwal - This was my first time with this dish, although I gave it a miss when I had been to SodaBottleOpenerWala earlier this month, and boy, this was a finely prepared dish. Essentially, this one was an egg, cheese and mushroom sandwich well-cooked.

Paneer Tikka - Cottage cheese chunks nicely char-grilled and served with bell pepper slices, a dash of lime and salad.

Fish and Chips - Quintessential combination that is worth a try. Also, their french fries are lightly fried, thus cutting down on oil.

Chicken Kalmi Kebab - Star dish of the day and must-try at Chawla's 2. Chicken leg pieces cooked to perfection, with a unique, creamy, lemony taste lent to it because of its marination perhaps.

Maharaja Tikka Platter - The beauty is in the name and variety.

Veg Salt 'n' Pepper paired with Hakka Noodles - Another classic combination that was nice on the palate. The noodles again were lightly fried, cutting down on oil.

Also had their Banana Nutella Shake, which was a favorite from my previous visit.

Wrapped up my meal with Banoffee Ball, which is again a favorite, though the previous one tasted better and gooey Chocolate Brownie and ice-cream topped with chocolate sauce.

Loved being at and tasting well-prepared dishes coming from an iconic name as Chawla's 2 and shall surely be visiting again for the quality and taste of a wide variety of dishes.
